“Pigs are anatomically similar to humans, so they make an ideal candidate for inter-species transplants. The biggest problem with transplanting organs from animals to humans, however, is rejection from the recipient’s immune system. In the current study scientists overcame this hurdle by genetically modifying pigs from the time of conception. They excised pig genes known to cause an immune reaction in primates and humans, and added several human genes.”

“Liberty University invited Mormon Glenn Beck to preach to its students at its compulsory convocation last week, handing out $10 fines to residential students who didn’t have a suitable excuse for not attending.”

“Producing newspaper articles from the 19th century about the discovery of giant bones isn’t sufficient. It is known now that at least some of those finds were in fact dinosaurs and prehistoric mammals. That means many others could have been as well, had they been investigated . . . it’s just that people 150 years ago didn’t know what they had.” – Michael S. Heiser

“We’ve seen the Smithsonian reports and their 7-foot skeletons. You know why I don’t trust newspaper accounts without some sort of independent substantiation? Nineteenth century newspapers were notorious for making stuff up.” – Jason Colavito

“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” – Matthew 24:23-24

“Clearly, the canonization concept is not biblical, in fact, as with many Catholic traditions it nullifies and opposes the Word of God. Everyone who has been baptized by the Holy Spirit into the body of Christ is a saint (1 Cor. 12:13). Scripture has 68 references to ‘saints’ and many of the epistles to the churches were addressed to the saints. Every born again Christian is a saint by virtue of their oneness with Christ.”

“It seems reasonable to me, when we examine the evidence in the written record, that there has been a deliberate obfuscation by the Smithsonian and other institutions to keep the Darwinian paradigm guarded. In other words, these giant skeletons do not fit the standard theory that Native Americans crossed the Bering Strait and settled here.”

“The authors and the books mentioned by Warren are more than revealing. They clearly show where his theology is founded. To suggest these books are eternal and to place them in the same category as the Bible is blasphemous. Thomas Kempis, Brother Lawrence, St. John of the Cross, Theresa of Avilla are all Roman Catholic mystics.”

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?” – Matthew 7:15-16

“Pope Francis’s habit of picking up the phone and cold calling people who write to him is landing the Vatican in hot water and spokesman Federico Lombardi has had enough. Lombardi said on Thursday the calls were part of the pope’s “personal pastoral relationships” and “do not in any way form a part of the pope’s public activities”.”

“As Christians we sit in church and listen to stories about the supernatural, like Moses parting the Red Sea, donkey’s talking to their owners, a man being swallowed by a whale and emerging three days later, Jesus walking on water, people being raised from dead, ax heads floating on water, The Angel of Death passing over the first-born of the Israelites but slaying the Egyptians first-born, Prophets foretelling the future, Jacob wrestling with an angel, water being turned to wine, Sarah and Abraham who are in their 90′s conceiving and having a child, the flood of Noah, The Ark of the Covenant being taken into battle, Jesus rising from the dead…. Why is it that these same people sit in the pews on Sunday morning and hear stories about the supernatural, but disconnect with what is happening in real-time all over the planet?” – L. A. Marzulli
